Monday Mayham
On Monday I had a court summons. I got there and had forgotten that I had my manicure kit in my purse so it was searched. The officer asked me to take it out, I said sure and did so. He was talking to another officer and asked me another 3 times to take it out, each time I told him I did. Then I said "its right there." "Oh" he says, "that's it?" "Yeah" "Its so cute and danety. Could you open it up for me?" "sure" "wow that's neat. Ok she's good to go" then i went to the desk and showed my summons; 8th floor, courtroom B. So I get up there and it's like 3 minutes to 8 and I wonder if I should wait or what because the first time I went I was escorted in. After waiting a 1/2 minute I decided to just go in. I sit down and see a chain gang on the left side where the jury would sit. Then ALL RISE! THE HONORABLE JUDGE MARTIN. After a few minutes I think to myself 'wait a minute...' I pull out my court summons and the judges name is Nancy, I look up and see the name plaque says EUGENE MARTIN. 'Oh crap! Am I in the wrong courtroom?! Was it D and not B? Should I leave? But he might call my name! Oh no.' Then he calls out a name and no one answers. "Alright that's a no show for a summons - warrant." I feel my stomach drop. If I'm in the wrong courtroom I'll get a warrant for my arrest! I decide to wait it out and after half an hour he calls my name. PHEW!!! I go up and he says that I'm there for not having Nevada plates and then I say "The vehicle I was driving belongs to my father who has duel residency and was visiting. I have proof of this right here." Dad had made a photocopy of his registration and insurance, his Utah drivers license and Nevada Seasonal Resident ID. I showed this to the state lawyer and after looking it over (I pointed out the addresses for both states) she said it could be dismissed. The Judge said "Alright. And about paying for your speeding ticket..." I cut him off and say "I paid it and have a bank statement stating that it came out of my account." I show this to the state lawyer and then the Judge says "Ok let my secretary see if she can dig it up." then after a few seconds he says "We have no record of it. Its probably in transit. What you'll have to do is go down to the traffic ticket division and get a receipt. It'll take you a while so come back when you're done." So I go back to the main floor and tell the guy at the desk that I just need a receipt for my speeding ticket. He gives me a number and I sit down. When my number is finally called I tell the lady what I need and she says "This is for the Municipal Court, not the Justice Court. He wouldn't have access to our records. You need to get a B number {the one I had was R}." "All I need is a receipt, can you print me something that says I paid it?" "Sure" So she does and then I go back and get a B number. It was B247 and they were serving B081. Needless to say I was there for a LONG time. Then when I got up to the window and told the lady what I needed she said "This is for the Justice Court, not the Municipal Court. You need to get a R number" "I had an R number and she said to get a B number. Look all I need is a receipt, do you think this is good enough to go back with?" I ask showing her the paper the first lady had printed. "I don't see why not..." "Ok thanks" So I go ALL the way back and sit in the back. Then after a few minutes the Marshall comes up to me and says "I need you to move up front." so I move. Then I hear the doors open and I turn to see.....a 5th grade class come in. One of the students father is a lawyer. The Judge talked to them for a bit while some lawyers were getting ready for a case. The class watched a witness testify against a man in custody. Then it was my turn (thankfully the class had left by this time). "Did you get the receipt?" "I think this is it." I hand it to the state lawyer and she looks it over and says "Yes it looks like it was paid in full." "How much was it for?" "$190.00 and a $4.00 fee for paying it over the phone so a totally of $194.00" "Alright, it looks like its dismissed. You're free to go. Have a good day" AND I WAS OUT! LOL PHEW! then I got lost trying to find where I had parked lol but I found it and its all GOOD! Never again will I speed; the speed control is my best friend EVER!!!

Zuzie sings
The following video is of my 2 1/2 year old god daughter Azura Jade. She was born the same day my dad had heart surgey in July. Anyways she's super smart and super cute. She's a bit tired so she gets kinda crazy at the end. And you can hear her mom, Teresa, my best friend and roomie talking in the background. Teresa is the one who taught Zuzie all the songs. I love it hope you enjoy!

hurry up and wait.
ok so long time no post; been kinda preoccupied. Last Friday I went to the chiropractor to have a readjustment, it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Then I went back to my parents house to pick up my dad because he said that he wanted to go to the bank with me. So I picked him up and we weren't even at the end of the street when he turned to me and said " Circle K has sodas for 79cents." "who said I was buying you a soda?" "I'm letting you use my vehicle aren't I?" "Fine. How do I get there..." So we go a back way & we're getting a soda and there's this creepy white guy awe-galing at me. Now just for the record, Yes I do like creepy but a good creepy like oh that'd be cool for Halloween or something of the like. Like The Addams Family. But this guy was bad creepy like "follow-you-from-the-store-to-your-car-but-keep-walking-after-you-get-in" creepy; he was wearing a wife beater that wasn't white anymore and had a skull tattoo that was probably done by a drunk/high friend. Anyways He complimented me on my big red sunglasses and naturally I said thank you because, lets face it - these sunglasses are awesome. Then I paid for the sodas and we left. I had some traffic maneuvering to do and when that was done I was across the street at the light ready to turn left. Dad & I were just making small talk, ya know, and then I notice 3 people walking across the street, one of which was the creepy dude. He saw me and STOPPED TO TALK TO ME! In the middle of the street, standing on the cement median. He said "You know, you're too cute for that car." "Yeah well its my dads car." I say pointing at my dad hoping that would make him go away. It didn't. "I like your earrings." at which I have to quickly think what earrings am I wearing? Oh yeah my little pirate skull studs. "Thanks" "you a skull chick?" "yeah but I'm picky, cant be too creepy." "yeah me too." he says then turns his arm to show me the obvious skull tattoo on his arm "yeah that's nice" I lie and he says its the first one he got done. Then repeats that I'm too cute for the car and then asks "So are you married, divorced? Single, in a relationship?" "I'm not on the market." I firmly state. "Yeah I don't like relationships, they're *messed up. I just hook up with my friends friends." *edited I nod and the light turns green "well," I say brightly "I gotta go. BYE!" and I drive away. Then I gag and say "SEE THAT DAD!? THAT is why I'm not married or in a relationship. Because THAT is all I get! The creepy white guys or the black or Hispanic guys that are all like 'hey baby' UGH! No!" He just kinda chuckled. This whole time he was quite. I think he was mainly amused but having him there made it 10x worse but also 10x funnier.
So at work my all time favorite supervisor Pat had a test to take and if she failed it, she'd be demoted even though other people can take it as many times as they need to to pass. She said if she was demoted, she'd leave. And on Friday she took it...and failed. So shes working on transferring.
I am currently saving for an apartment to move into, closer to my family, around June-ish. Hopefully my best friend will be able to move in with me but its all still really if-y. I am also working on an online business. Oh speaking of that, dad left his air card with my eldest sister Trudi in Utah and so I was gonna work off the land line at my house. I set it up but it wont go online. My friends husband looks at it and after a while figures out it wont work because my dads lap top isn't equipped for land line but the wireless is all decked out. So I was super bummed and told my dad that I'd have to work on it at his place. Then I was setting it up on the dinning room table to watch a movie when I remembered my little sister Tristen telling me about an Application that could be downloaded onto my Droid Eris that would make it a wireless router. so I called her and asked her about it and got the name of it. I downloaded it and sure enough, I'm online BABY!!! I <3 my cell phone. It also charges while its plugged into the computer to make it internet accessible. It's awesome. Anyways that is all for now, must get started with the other job.
